The secret lies in the special properties of mycelium.
Sustainability - Mycelium can be grown on a wide variety of substrates, including food scraps and agricultural waste. These fascinating fibers are also able to break down toxic substances to actively clean up the environment.
Efficiency - Mushroom materials grow in large quantities in a matter of weeks-or even days.
Customizability - If you put mycelium and substrate into a mold, you can create pretty much any shape. Playing around with substrate types and growing conditions changes the texture and density of the final material.
As development matures and mushroom materials become stronger and longer lasting, they'll be even better for the environment. After all, the less you have to buy, the fewer resources are needed for production.

At a few parks by my house, one of the local colleges is working on mycelium walls. They have almost a small shed size going.
I would be very interested in the R value of those walls
My suggestion would be to only put enough nutrients for whatever size while you want. Once mycelium runs out of the nutritional material and water it basically is dormant or not growing. I would be interested in making small scale projects. I don't have the resources or the capital to make it happen myself. I have the knowledge to make it happen.
I would love to know more about this product.
You got me into growing mushrooms dude, thanks
awesome! happy growing!
@@FreshCapMushrooms what mechanism does mycelium use to breakdown lignocellulose
@@FreshCapMushrooms 1:26 May you say what is a fluffy culture? LM clontc... what?)
Omg! Magic Bacon is coming soon!
It would be entirely possible to control psilocybin content of mushrooms if psilocybin was legalized. If magic mushrooms can be cooked, there could be a variety of psychedelic food products.
@@brettknoss486 "In the red corner, we have a party stable: weed brownies! And in the blue corner we have a mysterious newcomer: Magic bacon!"
I’ll stick to real piggy bacon, thank you
Very cool video, very informative too. Thx.
I have grow aerial mycelium from oysters, aside from the conditions you mentioned, you need a lot of moisture so it doesn't dry up, it looks a bit like a lion's mane fruiting body, i ate it and it tasted like bland oysters mushrooms but way more bitter, it wasn't horrible or anything i imagine with the right seasoning it could be decent enough. I actually posted this on mushroom growing and other groups on facebook with pics but didn't get a lot of answers.
Wanna share it again here?
Hello! How do you grow a mushroom like this plane mat? This is an incredible result! Please, can you tell me about this process? Or have you information about this in facebook or reddit maybe? May you post the link please?
@@user-vp5ri7pw1n This was 2 years ago, i didn't do it on purpose and didn't try to replicate it so i don't have any more info.
Love the frequent uploads!
thank you! more to come :)
This was a great orientation around what's happening with the mushrooms industry, great video.
Lots of useful information here. Been looking for this kind of description, thank you!
So much cooler than actual animal skin
A wonderful organism with many uses. Thanks for the knowledge bomb.
My first watched video on mushrooms and mycelium. Such a pleasant surprise hearing about the innovation going on in this field. Great delivery, excellent content, and inspiring to explore this field.
hello...I really appreciate the effort you are making... thank you always
thanks for watching!
wow hats off to your research. thank you for sharing!
4:33 It could be a giant mycelial mat growing on top of a liquid culture in a large vat. If you don't mix your liquid culture, it will tend to grow as a layer on the top of the liquid and can only grow up a little and most down. But it forms a solid mat if not mixed.
I Love your channel...Mycelium is Amazing❗️🙏💞😊
thank you thank you! mycelium really is cool
Have you actually been on a trip before?
Hi, you helped me more than you can imagine. I wanted to start growing mycelium because it seemed like a good idea for a seminar paper, but I didnt know how because no TH-camr I watched, took beginners with no clue into consideration. But thanks to your videos, I finally understand the process. So now, thanks to You, I am near the end with the practical part of my seminar paper. However, I have some questions for you and other mycelium enthusiasts. I know you probably dont have time for answering me, but if you could, I would be so thankful. I am trying to grow an alternative material from mycelium. I used king oyster and I have it at home in a plastic box with holes without any special conditions. It is growing, but I am not sure about the next steps. Should I be afraid of it fruiting and how can I prevent it? How can I change the conditions for it to grow faster? And when it is all grown through, should I take it out from the box and let it grow in the air for a while and then place it to the oven at 180F for 2-3 hour? Or do you recommend a different aproach?
Do you know about any interesting literature concerning mycelium and ecology? Thank you in advance and I also think that mycelium has the potential to be the material of the future 😄
The mushroom in the background looks really nice
Thanks Tony for another great video! Have a fantastic day!
thank you for the info & inspiration!
Ditto!
thank you for this video, it's so interesting and informing!! I enjoyed it a lot
Thank you for this info dude, great stuff!
thank you for making awesome videos like this
Try to do the same thing you did only the substrate is in a chair / stool mold.
It can be interesting to create furniture from mycelium.
I can’t remember the designers name but there is a specific European designer who designs mycelium chairs and stools!
I would love to try this idea with Reishi. I love eating it when it's white like that....much easier to chew!!!!
I wonder if we could replace fiberglass insulation in homes using similar methods. I kind of want to start growing now just to experiment.
Of course we can
The more i think about it, the mycellium will begin to eat the house within a few months, and i can't even imagine the amount of carbon dioxide it will produce in that home. It would be best used with items that should be recycled, like coffins or packaging.
Thanks ! greetings from the Caucasus
I watched a vid yesterday about how Mycelium can be used in electronic applications such as Sensors, processors etc.
Hey, I love your videos! I have just recently taken the interest of growing mushrooms, and I’m currently gathering some supplies. Do you know any alternatives to sealing substrate bags without having an impulse sealer?
Thanks.
How is that lil Avacado behind you doing nowadays Tony?
It would be nice to be able the choose the mushrooms used on the suit. I would definitely choose deathman's fingers. Every year out of my grave those fingers will be sticking up out of the ground.
My son is a freshman at an environmental college in Central California, mycelium 101 is his favorite class! 🌈
The best info I found so far! I'd love to know more how to grow reishi mycelium.
All thanks to mycojims on IG for being genuine... You can always get your shrooms, LSD, dmt, chocolate bars and even growing kits.
I'm wondering if animal bedding made of straw and wood fiber pellets, mixed with animal waste could be cleaned and sterilized (amonia cooked off and sold or used as fertilizer), ground, and used as a medium for mushrooms.
This has helped me grow produce and sell fresh mushrooms. The sky is the limit. Maybe they will take spawn to the moon or Mars to start new life.
Check out The Expanse. One of the main sources of food in that fictional space drama is mushrooms!
@@LtCaveman I thought it algaes and insects.
Hi! Greetings from Estonia! I'm really enjoying your videos. Have you ever experimented with using grain as a growing substrate?
Hello. What substrate did you use for the monotub
Soon I'll experiment with using them as a sort of rock wool cube, and pre-planted seed matt that is buried sub-surface.
I've wondered about making a screen over the compost, so that birds could eat the remaining grains.
I figure it will keep them pecking long enough, that they will add in a little nitrogen also.. I'm not sure if they will eat it, or how healthy it would be for them though.
With the right kind of mycelium they'll start talking to you too
It seems as if maybe Laetiporus sulphureus/Chicken of the Woods is a species that can do the areal growth (owing to the bacon product)? What other species do you think might be used for the leather process?
Awesome! So that’s why they grow wild and spread! YES!!!! Took humanity so long to figure that out That but glad they finally figured out the wonder of mushrooms 🥰
Is it best to make a Reishi plate with a Reishi that has dropped it's spores or one that's still in puff ball stage? I made one from an older fruiting body but I can't tell if it's growing out on the plate. Was considering getting a young fruit from the same cluster. Appreciate the feedback!
Spores can take a lot longer to grow and you have to go through the complex stages of separating the spores to get the refined genetics for the mycelium. I would think taking a clean sample from an already existing mushroom is faster and easier to do as long as your using good sterilization practices.
@@Artem_Gratis that's what I mean, should I take a tissue culture from a Reishi that's already been around long enough to drop it's spores, or should I take tissue from a puffball stage Reishi mushroom?
Mind blown!! I've heard of the packaging thing, very cool by the way. But..... Bacon! Really
Does the mycelium brick feel similar to the fruiting body?
I LOVE MUSHROOM ESPECIALLY THE MAGIC ONE

Nice video! Any idea about the species used for production of Bacon & Leather?
Probably pink oyster mushrooms from what I've heard.
Вау! Отличное видео.
Amazing! The future is fungi...
Thanks for the Video. What mushroom mycelium would grow out of the substrate?
Could you make a video on how to make aerial mycelium?
Thanks for sharing this with us. But the actual question is, what are the legislation/laws (UK) for mycelium packaging?! come up with 4 at least, thanks
Could you do a turkey tail grow and fruit, can't find a decent comprehensive one on all of TH-cam?
Thanks 😊
Cool
Hi, I really want to make set props from mycelium (instead of polyuerthane/polystyrene). I've watched so many videos from people like ecovative etc on "making a mycelium brick" etc, and honestly I'm just confused. I have some mycelium sprouting from grain spawn, do I add this to hay and then mold then bake? Is it okay than the grain is still there? Should there not be any grain involved? How do I add mycelium if not with grain spawn?? Anyway please please please your videos are very easy to understand, can you do a video on making mycelium material because I think you would have a better idea how to than someone like me
What a fantastic idea! I think the mycelium consumes the grain as it grows, while the hay acts as the basic structural foundation on which the mycelium can grow. Once you mix them together and press them into their molds (🤣), the fungus takes over. I accidentally grew a fairly thick mat of mycelium before I was able to create the right conditions for the Lion's Mane mushrooms I was trying to grow. Anyway, it was just mycelium. I couldn't feel or see any "bumps" of grain. It was pretty wild. I had no idea what had happened, but just kept trying for fruit. Got some yummy shrooms once I started using a humidifier 24/7. It LIKES cooler and wetter environments, so maintaining higher temperature and dryness will keep the mycelium from fruiting. It'll quickly spread throughout its container, then will "fill in", meaning it will get denser and denser, sort of growing "over" itself. I don't know what the real terminology is, but you'll be able to feel the mycelial mat getting denser by gently pressing on it. I found it very interesting. I'd actually wondered if it could be used for packaging, but never researched it any further (just due to the texture; it was very much like a foam mat, but thinner).
do not know anything about mushrooms, but I have been researching the use of mushrooms as a building material for two days since this subject has caught my attention. in one video the man was sprinkling flour instead of grain and it was coming out of this soft looking cork. If I can find it again I'll post a link here.
Just a quick technical note they use a species from the Ganoderma phylum (probably lucidium)
Hello, I have a question, why do mushrooms have all these nutrients from the earth and their way of acting in the human body is different from other foods such as vegetables and fruits. What makes them so special is the Mycelium?
Please show me how to grow aerial mycelium for making bacon...if I'm in Vietnam..
Very interesting. Any other information like the durability of the "leather" and the main qualities (is it water resiliant, resistant, etc) of this new product. Oh and if I am eating it, what are the the nutrition facts?
Exactly what I would like to know too . If it's not durable or nutritious , what's the use?
I like the idea for products... I am a little leary on the food aspect... What artificial enhancers are used to flavor these products...Chemicals? If so what chemicals? Are they using embryo enchancing flavors, die's, food coloring, etc? If this is case we are trading one ill for another... hope you see my point of view... Nothing beats the actual product prepared organically without chems and additives... God speed
On a side note: what would this do to archeology? We have to dig up stuff to find out answers.. If there is nothing to dig up what happens now?
Hello there ...I am from India...which Mushroom type would be good here ...
I was searching for Indian 😁 in comments , nice to meet you phani

They use mycelium technology in star trek discovery and I just watched last of us series it's also used as a way the clicker creatures are connected. I keep hearing about it from shows and now this video. I'm gonna now go on obsessive research on it. I will not be sleeping.
It would be awesome to transform into mushrooms with that suit.
It’s funny they are trying to patent mushrooms. This is gonna be a lot of companies growing this.
Anyone got a link to the company mentioned I'd love to get hold of those items

can WE fix potholes on our freeway with mycellium?
better batteries?
NOURISHmeant ?
So are you saying I can just fry up some styrofoam and it turns in to bacon ?
My daughter loves your rainbow bull picture on the wall
I love the giant reishi!
it's so cool! artist name is Steven Brown
Also hard to tell white mold between mycelium lol
when you know you know lol
Today my first mushrooms spawn arrived its oyster but I really want to grow button, enoki and lions manes or even wood ear
All thanks to mycojims on IG for being genuine... You can always get your shrooms, LSD, dmt, chocolate bars and even growing kits.
something like making a tempe
It would never be replace but can co-exist with meat, leather,etc.
Kick pad?
look up living Pavillion
I can't help but wonder what will happen when all of that packaging is released into the environment after being used.
I don't think it would be much different from dumping a rotting log, right? It would technically introduce more of a specific fungus into the environment, but it would still need specific conditions to flourish, so in most cases it would just die and decompose into the environment.
All of the commercial products that I know of are biologically inert. Ecovative kiln dries their material
Compost
Probably Recolonize
Anyone have any ideas what "marshmellowy" mycelium they might use for making the foam?
Insulation
You cracked Mashroom leather
I thought you were holding a massive piece of tempeh
Careful with the claim of the amout of water required per pound of meat. The numbers cited aren't wrong per say, but they are described very misleadingly. Probably intentionally so. Its not the same kind of water. Beef aren't fed drink water to the same standard as human drinkwater. This also includes all the water required to grow to beef's food, this can indeed vary based on the region of the world. Where pluviometry is high enough field irrigation is soly done by rain, other areas use artificial irrigation but soly from stored rainwater. All of those don't have such a strong impact as is usually claimed. Admittedly there are regions where artificial irrigation does compete with human drinkwater consumption, or use deep water table that aren't replenished by rain, causing a noticable impact on the environment.

You can acquire it for "research" but Idk bro I -c-- don't condone breaking the laws of your state/country. Instead move to a state or country where psychedelics are 100% legal.
TF is a gallon?!
Those big milk jugs you see with red or blue caps contain exactly 1 gallon.
When I die, just throw me in the trash.

tbh the burial suit mostly seems like it would bring up issues with the type of mushroom thriving and becoming invasive in a bunch of areas it wasn't previously in
Sooo, can you order the magic ones on the internet?🍄🍄🍄😂😂
Yeah, for 'research' those are pretty hard to grow and you'd have to put a little soul into making it for your 'soul to get nourished'

I was ripped off my 💰 severally by online scammers, until I found a legit dealer that ships mushrooms,spores to me.
I only buy from them and no other. They have been delivering without disappointing

I'm 100% down for replenishing material to help decrease the production of plastics and other nondegradable materials.
But there ain't no substitute for bacon.
Am I interested in the magic mushroom? Let me think about this one for a second...
@André Manchester He isn't in Brazil, is he? In any case, here magic mushrooms are legal. There are many online shops to choose from. I've been microdosing to treat depression for a little more than a month now and I feel great. I highly recommend it 🍄😎
if its not accurate then lets not use the comparison to roots.
humans must work with mushrooms or we are doomed
the future is fungal
Shroom suit? Ha Haaaa
If it ain't pork belly, it ain't bacon.
All the plastic in the world could be replaced with mushrooms 🤷♂️
i find it cool to build architectural materials with it but vegan "alternatives" are pointless if not harmful imo.
You said 7:43 looked good?? Looks like scabs
Could I inoculate myself with the fungus into my brain in order to increase my neural network
and become intellectually more lively, quick and intelligent ? 🤔 🤭
Sooooo glad it’s replacing bacon and leather because bacon and leather contributes to horrific animal cruelty
Mushrooms will definitely help the planet go vegan💗
Vegan only is not healthy...
Never
@@clint9344 You should message the numerous world-record breaking vegan athletes and let them know how unhealthy they are. Being vegan isn't just about the animals, a lot of people switch over to plant-based due to the myriad of health benefits. Vegans have significantly lower rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease and obesity. Additionally, when compared to both vegetarians and meat eaters, vegan men were found to have higher levels of testosterone.
If it turned out that vegan diets were harming our health, then I think I would probably start eating chicken and eggs again, but fortunately I've never felt healthier in my entire life.
Have ever been on a trip before?
Let's just get one thing clear. Mushrooms will never replace bacon.
pink oysters tho----- so good! they at least replace bacon bits
@@FreshCapMushrooms oysters are my fav. Never had the pink ones though.
@@fakerzdan fry em in butter and then get some paprika on em you won't regret it!
